| But
also starring in this musical extravaganza is Kim Sharma who appears
for the second time after her screen debut in Mohabbatein two
years ago.
Young
Arjun Singh is a dreamer - he has always dreamt of becoming a renowned
singer. Although the folks in his small village of Jaislmer are
acquainted by his singing capabilities, he has never been recognized.
Well not until Naina, a tourist, changes his fate. She convinces
Arjun to try his luck in the big city of Mumbai.
After giving it
some thought he finally decides to leave for Mumbai but soon discovers that life
is not easy as it seems in the music industry.
The only two people
who stand by him in his hour of need are Naina and her mother who both believe
in his talent.
Arjun now yearns
for that one single opportunity which will turn him into a singing
sensation. Fortunately he does not have to wait too long cause lady
luck comes in the form of Bobby, the beautiful daughter of a very
rich business tycoon. She decides to promote this young man.
Thus Arjun's long
awaited dream finally comes true as he becomes an overnight singing star but in
the process Bobby falls in love with our handsome hero.
She
plans to marry him without realizing that Arjun is actually in love
with Naina.
Torn between the
two young beautiful ladies, Arjun must now decide which direction to take and
that folks make up the climax of this absorbing emotional drama.
Surprisingly,
director Deepak Anand has managed to give this love triangle a fresh
new look in an era where age old love triangles are being continuously
released.
Performances by all three lead stars are simply stunning considering that all
three are new on the Bollywood scene.
Acting
capabilities by the dashing Nakul looks very convincing. He is extremely
photogenic, excels in the stunts scenes and is extremely light on
his feet in the song and dance sequences.
In Nakul one can
see all the traits of a star in the making. Believe it or not but this young man
will certainly reach the top in Bollywood one day.
As
for Aarti Chhabria, she is a real natural and for a debutante she
deserves a pat on the back.
Last
but not the least comes Kim Sharma who effortlessly managed to act
out the role of a rich possessive spoilt brat with pure élan!
Music by Nadeem
Shravan deserves a special mention. His rich musical score amalgamates beautifully
with the narrative of the film.
Deepak Anand has definitely achieved what he originally set out
to do in terms of a polished storyline - fresh faces and excellent
cinematography - ending up with a product that is an all round entertainer.
Worth a trip to your local cinema for this one!
